Germ layers and the body cavity

Slice through four body plans and see the germ layers and whether a body cavity (coelom) is present.

Open the simulation

What to notice

In a pseudocoelomate the mesoderm forms scattered pouches, so the cavity is not fully lined by mesoderm.

Key relation

Coelom = body cavity lined by mesoderm

Try this

Compare the pseudocoelomate and coelomate sections — where is the mesoderm?
